Volume 16 Chapter 118 The Art of Liar
Chapter 118 The Art of Liar
The moment the door opened, I saw a Caucasian man. Different from the white people we usually think of, this guy is not a European or American white person, but a Russian. Although I can't tell specifically what kind of characteristics it is, you can immediately tell that he is Russian as soon as you see him.
Instead of waiting outside to eavesdrop, I quickly booked a private room next to the shop owner and hid in it. There is only a wall between the two private rooms, and it's a RB-style wall. To put it bluntly, it's just a piece of paper. However, although the wall looks like paper in the game, it has actually been strengthened. Not only is its hardness comparable to that of thick wood, but it also has a good sound insulation effect. Of course, these enhancements and sound insulation are very low-level spell enhancements, which are really nothing to ordinary people, but if you are really serious about eavesdropping, they can be easily done. After using a little trick I could clearly hear the sound from next door.
"How does it taste?" This was the voice of the rb person I was following.
The voices of white people are relatively louder. "Not very good. I probably can't adapt to your taste!"
"Haha, it doesn't matter. You don't have many chances to come over anyway. Next time I treat you to some non-special dishes, I think you should be able to adapt."
"Forget it!" The white man refused directly: "Although I have a good relationship with you, to be honest, I still prefer Chinese food when it comes to eating."
The rb person probably didn’t like the content, so he quickly changed the subject and asked, “When will it be available next time?”
"This is hard to say!" I heard the sound of chopsticks being put down. Apparently the white man had stopped eating and was taking this topic seriously. "The formula for that thing has a very tricky necessary ingredient, and the production of this thing has never been stable, so...!"
"I understand, but can't we think of something to do?"
"Other things are easy to handle, but there is really nothing we can do about this necessary material. We have sent all the helpers we can find to collect it. Besides, this thing needs to be kept secret, and we can't just hire people everywhere. If the news comes, You know the consequences of leaking it."
After a moment of silence, the rb man continued: "I understand. Then I have to ask you to do your best."
"Don't worry, we still want your money. If we can increase production, we will be happier than you!"
After this paragraph, the two people talked about some "messy" gossip, but they were all insignificant things. This paragraph was really useful. After carefully analyzing that passage, I got two pieces of information from it. The first is that the Japanese are buying something from the Russians. The second thing is that this thing is a mixture, and there is an ingredient in it that is difficult to get. Because I could infer from what they said before that the formula of this thing needs to be kept secret, so I directly connected this thing with the magic crystal solution that can be quickly vaporized. The results that our guild's researchers helped me analyze previously showed that there are two really important things in that missile. One is the technology to 'liquefy' the magic crystal, and the other is the auxiliary mixture. When I was discussing with those researchers, we had speculated that not all the technology of that thing came from the RB people, and now there happens to be another person who may be related to the magic crystal steam bomb who is in contact with a Russian. In addition, just now From what I heard, I naturally thought that the mixture they said requires special materials might be the kind of mixture we are working on.
I waited in the private room until the two people left before following them out. Because both of the other people may have the information I need, they both have to be tracked. Therefore, I released the phantom that has always been in a harmonious state to track the Russian, while I continued to stare at the Russian. Compared with the Russians, the Japanese have more reconnaissance methods for soul bodies, so the Phantom is safer than the Russians. "Zero" may have taken into account the national habits of people in various countries, and the distribution of combat power among various countries in the world is not even. To put it simply, Russia has more knights, while France has a particularly large number of mages, and the United States has almost one fifth. Most players are related to firearms, and China has a lot of Taoist things. The specialty of the rb is the soul-like incorporeal combat technology, so it is very unwise to let the phantom follow the rb.
I followed that guy all the way out of the city and ran to a relatively secluded mountain recess, where there was a large cemetery. The guy first looked around, and after making sure no one was nearby, he carefully walked behind a tombstone and squatted down. Since I was blocked by a tombstone, I couldn't see what he was doing behind me. As a result, I didn't see him get up even after waiting for a long time. "Oops." I suddenly realized that the guy might not have squatted down just now, but had entered a secret passage. The tombstone might have been a disguised entrance. But unfortunately, when I went around there, I saw nothing but tombstones. This guy has been down there for at least ten minutes. If there is a side road down there, it will be troublesome!
After running to the tombstone, I quickly searched on it. Since that guy went down, there must be something like a secret door here. Unfortunately, I looked for a long time and didn't find anything and I didn't dare to touch it. In fact, I could have used other methods to drill into the ground, but Rose Vine and Pioneer were not around, and I am really not good at digging holes. The guy with the steel claw digs holes very fast, so the movement... let's forget it. !
When I was in trouble, the tombstone suddenly made a sound. I reacted quickly and jumped behind the tombstone next to me and activated the invisibility ability of the Phantom Cloak. Now as long as I don't move or the other party uses detection spells, they won't notice my presence. . After the tombstone rang, the surrounding ground suddenly collapsed, revealing a small door, and then a person walked out of it. This guy was very vigilant. After he came out, he walked out on the other side without even looking at the door behind him. Anyway, his back was turned to me, so I simply stepped over and jumped in at the last second when the door closed.
The secret door closed above my head, and the passage immediately became dark. Fortunately, I have dark vision, so this kind of place has no effect on me at all. Not far down the steps, there was a door. I thought about it and pushed it open. Fortunately, no one was guarding the back, but the situation was worse than being guarded. Because there was a huge studio behind the gate, and nearly three hundred staff members all turned their attention to me.
Damn, it’s a big deal this time! These people are very good at saving money, right? Shouldn't a place like a secret factory be buried deep underground, with dozens of levels and hundreds of powerful guards on the outside? Why did you go straight into the workroom just after passing two doors?
Just for a moment, the whole room exploded with a bang. The people in the room suddenly became confused. Some people ran towards the door opposite to the door I came in, while others rushed towards me directly. Since the two groups of people were running in different directions, chaos was inevitable, but I quickly put an end to this chaos.
"Magic Burning." This skill is very simple. I directly use my own magic power to burn the opponent's life. As long as my magic power is higher than the opponent's life value, then everything is not a problem. Of course, this skill is only cost-effective when there are many enemies. Burning one-on-one is purely a waste.
Maybe because most of the people here are technicians, there are really not many people who can fight. At least those who escaped were all killed instantly, while those who rushed towards me staggered instantly, but they did not fall. Go down. I only activated the magic burning for a moment. After all, it was just to prevent someone from running in to report the news. There was no need to kill those who came to meet me. Although magic burning has little effect on combat professionals, a stagger is enough to prevent them from getting up again. After a flash of white light, I was already standing by the door on the opposite side, and the people who had just planned to stop me were all rolling on the ground next to the door where I came in, holding their bleeding necks. This kind of low-level player with a part-time auxiliary profession really can't stop me with any move.
Although all the people in the second studio were cleared out in an instant, the movement just now was still noticed by people outside. The door in front of me opened by itself when I was about to open it, but the person behind the door froze when he saw me. Before he could react, I pulled him into the room and wiped his neck in the air. When he landed, he was already a corpse.
When I opened the door again and walked out, I heard a voice from outside asking lazily: "What are those people inside talking about?" Apparently this guy thought I was the person I killed just now, because his movements were too fast. The guy didn't have time to make any sound at all, so that the guy so close didn't even know that his companion had been killed. Although this is a game, dead players can log in and resurrect to report information, but this process also takes time. Even if there is a Resurrection Mage or Resurrection Temple in this base, it will take at least a few minutes to resurrect once. I am not exposed until those people come back.
Without leaving the door, I just stretched out my hand and hooked the guy's neck and pulled him in. The guy only had time to let out a groan before I was done with him. I don't know if this guy was unlucky, but he died when he died, and his equipment actually exploded. I directly put on the armor and helmet on that guy and entered the next room with great swagger. In fact, this side cannot be regarded as a room, or it should be more accurately said as a passage. There is a gate along the way here, and there are two guards standing beside each gate. However, because there are too many debris in the passage, adjacent passages cannot see each other. Thanks to these miscellaneous items, otherwise I would have been discovered immediately after killing the two guards.
After bypassing the twists and turns of the passage that was blocked by debris, I quickly arrived near the second passage. The guards here are wearing the same thing as me. This kind of armor is not personal equipment, but unified. The two guards I killed before were wearing such armor. I knew at that time that this was not personal equipment, so Only then would he use this guy's equipment to impersonate him.
The two guys just looked at me with curiosity and said nothing. I walked directly towards them and they thought I had something to say. "Uh..." I opened my mouth and said this, and the other party immediately listened carefully and prepared to wait for my next words. Unfortunately, what they waited for was a sword light, and the two of them immediately fell down.
After disposing of the two corpses, I carefully opened the door behind them, and what I saw was a warehouse. After a brief search, there were no important supplies. All they contained were the missile bodies that I captured, and they were obviously only parts prepared for assembly. It seems that this is a production factory, or at least an assembly factory.
I wasted some time checking the supplies in the warehouse, and when I came out, I suddenly heard a piercing alarm. It seemed that the people I had just killed had come back to life. But I didn't intend to evacuate, but ran forward quickly. Soon I met the guard at the next gate. Of course the guards here also heard the alarm, but they didn't know exactly what happened. When they saw me running over, they wanted to come up and ask out of habit, but I pretended to be anxious and asked loudly before they could ask, "Did you see a shadow running past here?"
"Phantom? Is it an intruder? Is that guy invisible? We didn't see it!" The two guards became nervous when they heard that there was an intruder, and I had the same equipment as them to help these two guys get used to it. Treat me as a companion.
"That guy just came from my place and I found him. The companion who was guarding the warehouse with me was killed. I chased him all the way and didn't see his shadow. He probably ran away. Will you chase him forward with me? "
"But what should we do here?" The two guards obviously did not dare to leave their posts without permission.
"Forget it, you guys just watch from here, I'll chase after you and notify the others by the way."
This trick of mine was super easy to use. After using this trick to deceive the guards at seven or eight gates, I found a place to take off my equipment, then activated my invisibility and hid on top of a pile of debris. A group of guards rushed over quickly from the front, and then ran past me in the direction I came from. After this group of people passed by, I jumped down again and continued running forward, but this time I changed back to the armor I grabbed before and continued to wear guards. When I met the guards again, I still pretended to be nervous and said to them: "I can't hold it anymore in front. You two go over to help right away. I'm going to call for reinforcements in the back. Hurry up." After saying this, they didn't wait for them. I turned around and ran away. The two guys were also very nervous because of me. After thinking for a while, they ran forward obediently.
Let’s talk about those who chased too far. They ran to the front and met the guard who was deceived. They realized that they had overrun. They followed a group of people and started running back. As a result, they kept encountering "reinforcements" that I had deceived. The one who took the lead was angry. The guy almost fainted. They gathered more and more people along the way, but soon they encountered a new situation.
This new situation was of course my fault. After tricking a bunch of people I attacked two guards again and threw the bodies of these two guys into the warehouse they were guarding. I attacked seven or eight such doors in succession. After killing a dozen guards, I collected all their equipment and ran back to the door guarded by the first two guards I killed. And summoned Lucky to make him appear in the passage in human form. I threw a set of the collected equipment for him to put on, and then the two of us pretended to be guards who had been deceived by me and ran towards the fire brigade heading back.
Since we have already encountered numerous teams of guards who were deceived like us, the guy leading the team has long been numb. I pretended to be surprised and asked them why they were running back, but he had already heard similar questions n times, and now he didn't even bother to answer and just ordered us to follow them. Then Lucky and I got into the group.
After continuing to run forward for a while, the team naturally passed through the area guarded by the killed guards, and then met the frontmost guards who were still safe and alive. Of course, at this time, they immediately thought that we must have sneaked in. They joined their team, but since these people didn't know each other and their equipment was the same, they couldn't figure out who had sneaked in. But as long as I give them time, I believe they can still find it out, but will I give them this time?
"Ah!" I pretended to be injured and fell backwards while covering the bleeding wound, while Lucky held a knife in one hand and grabbed another guard with the other and yelled: "Run quickly, we have been recognized."
Of course the guy who was grabbed knew immediately that he was being framed, but did he have time to explain? Without my need to do anything, the guard next to him went up and killed the guard with a knife, and the guy fell down with a look of unwillingness. After being wronged so miserably, this guy would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood when he returned home. Although the wronged guy died, Lucky was fine. Although he is in humanoid form, he is still a dragon, and his hand-to-hand combat ability is definitely more terrifying than that of a super soldier. I quickly opened a bloody path and ran towards the other end of the passage. I shouted to follow behind and "chase" Lucky. In fact, I was blocking the footsteps of the people behind me intentionally or unintentionally. As a result, we chased all the way down. I can't catch up with luck.
Because Lucky himself has super strong combat power, the enemies in front of him couldn't stop him at all, and the people behind him couldn't move faster because of my blocking, so everyone always kept a certain distance to chase him. No matter how long the passage is, it always has an end. After we chased it for a while, the passage also ended. Fortunately, I opened the last door, and what I saw was a huge underground world. Of course, Lucky didn't have time to visit now, and he had to continue running away. I also increased my speed a little, caught up with Lucky, and pretended to be knocked back. However, the guards following me quickly rushed up to take over. I work. Fortunately, I didn't bother with them. I simply exchanged hands and started running again. I pretended to be injured and escaped from the pursuit team.
After those people were all behind me, I suddenly turned over and jumped up from the ground. "Hey, you go and chase slowly! Let me see how your liquefied magic crystal is produced."
